MIlUOITIS of the QUEENSLAND MUSEUM, 
range through the Philippines northward to Southern Japan. Its westerly 
limit has already been stated, but it may be mentioned that Steindachner’s 
specimen came from Socotra. 
Dimensions : — On the Indian Coast Pay reports it as being '' a small 
species attaining six or seven inches in length,” and adds that '' it arrives in 
i\Iadras about October.” IMeeker's largest specimen was under eight inches 
(195 millim), but on our coast it grows to at least 245 millim. 
Demarlxs: — Our two specimens agree perfectly Avith Bleeker’s description 
and, therefore, omitting his faulty dentition, AA'itli Gunther’s. There are, however, 
some discre])ancies l)etAveeji Day’s description and ours, chieMy AAuth regard to 
the proportional size of various parts of the head; for instance, the depth of the 
head is said by him to be 'Dour fifths of its length,” Avhile in both of ours it is, 
excluding the throat, exactly two thirds of its length; again the eye is smaller 
in proportion to the head in his specimens than in ours, although the latter are 
the larger fishes, a reversal of iiormal conditions, nevertheless it is said to be as 
long as the snout. jMcCulloch has, however, kindly compared our Darnley 
Island specimen with an Endeavour fish from Jbistard Bay, and Avith Indian 
specimens in the Australian iMuseum, and AVidtes that " the only difference 
appears to be in the dorsal and anal fins, the Australian specimens haAdng two 
more rays in each than the Indian ones.” Caranx- ecclipsifer de Vis is certainly 
this fish, but, as is too often the case Avith dhat Avriter’s specimens, the type is 
missing. 
Illustration : — Our figure is taken from the Darnley Island specimen 
mentioned above. Reg No. in the Queensland ^Museum, I. 13/998.
